crossbones
Skull's skeletal partner
Two bones depicted in an X shape, almost always paired with a skull to form the skull and crossbones symbol.
This image appears on poison labels, pirate flags, and anywhere death or danger needs signaling.
The bones represent human femurs or tibiae crossed beneath a grinning skull: The bottle was marked with a skull and crossbones.
